Saving Wildlife in a Changing India

How can India balance economic ambitions, ecological integrity, and social justice? This paper seeks to unpack systemic threats to wildlife conservation, including weakened laws, a governance favouring economics over ecology, and a growing disconnect between policy and on-ground action. It critiques exclusionary policies and a growing commodification of nature, advocating for a pluriverse of inclusive, landscape-scale conservation approaches that integrate ecological resilience with community leadership.
